Review summary

Overall ship is a beautiful hotel on the water! Very disappointed in the excursions, granted they were my choice, so, I’ve learned a lot! Maybe when I’m older I’ll do another cruise?!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Next time, I’ll just do my own thing!Too much time traveling from point A to point B. Most not worth $$

Ship Quality

Beautifully designed…very few things I’d change and that is saying something since I’ma retired interior designer😂

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfection! One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in for the size!

Ship tip

Wear your mask if you feel ill…closed in with tons of your nearest and dearest…a lot of coughing, sneezing, hacking, etc. In all of the 21 European trips I’ve been blessed to experience, this is the first time I came back having been sick!! Please care about others, it’s not just about you!!

Ports of call

Dubrovnik, Croatia

3 out of 5
Did excursion, again, should have just done own thing

Kotor, Montenegro

3 out of 5
Did excursion, ditto previous comment…meh!

Corfu, Greece

3 out of 5
Ditto previous comments! Too contrived for me…they take you to places that they are connected to! Much prefer doing our own stuff, get to experience local culture, not contrived.

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

3 out of 5
Did excursion…climbed stairs. Need to rate level of difficulty differently! Be more aware of your clients ability level…too many excursions were rated moderate (which I’m fine with) but, many who signed up could complete and/or was very difficult for them!

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
Read other reviews I’ve made, same here Excursion got cut short because of weather…I was fine with it because we were going to another lunch with more dancing, meh

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

3 out of 5
Did excursion, hope about been there done that? I will go back to many of these places again, but doing it my way, where we decide excursions and plan our own trip.

Disembarkation
